Project

BLDC Reaction Wheel Controller

Arduino based satellite attitude control with a Windows GUI

Overview

A reaction wheel changes a satellite's attitude by spinning a mass. I led the project design, wrote the Windows GUI for earth station to satellite communication, and designed the electronics that drive the BLDC motor from an Arduino over I2C.

Highlights

  • Project lead for design, application and circuit.
  • I2C control loop between GUI, Arduino and motor driver.
